Transliteration:( Wa shadadnaa mulkahoo wa aatainaahul Hikmata wa faslal khitaab )
"And We strengthened [35] his kingdom and bestowed wisdom [36] upon him and decisive judgement."
Allah fortified the kingdom of Hazrat Dawood (peace be upon him) in a way unmatched by others. His palace was guarded by forty thousand soldiers in armour, reflecting the power and stability granted to him.
He was also granted wisdom, meaning deep understanding of religious matters, and decisive judgement, referring to his ability to govern and deliver just rulings in legal and administrative affairs. His rule combined strength with fairness, making him an ideal model of a righteous king and prophet.
